Ligaments of Membranous Semicircular Ducts

The ligaments of membranous semicircular ducts are a group of muscles that are located in the ear area and are involved in the regulation of hearing. They form two ligaments that are located on the back and front walls of the middle ear.

The membranous duct ligaments are made up of muscle fibers that contract and relax as pressure changes in the middle ear. When pressure in the ear increases, the membranous duct cords contract, causing the ear canals to close and reducing sound entering the ear.

In addition, the ligaments of the membranous semicircular ducts are also involved in determining the direction of sound. When sound enters the ear, the ligaments of membranous semicircular ducts respond to changes in pressure and send signals to the brain, which then interprets information about the direction of the sound.

The proper functioning of the membranous semicircular duct ligaments is essential for normal hearing and sound perception. However, if the membranous semicircular duct ligaments are damaged or do not function properly, it can lead to hearing loss and other hearing problems.

In general, the ligaments of the membranous semicircular ducts play an important role in regulating hearing and ensuring the normal functioning of the middle ear.

The ligaments of membranous (membranaceorum - from the Latin covering), semicircular (semicircularis) ducts are formations of the conductive tracts of the inner ear, located in the pyramids of the temporal bones. From Latin the name is also translated as “membranous”. This is due to the fact that fluid passes through them from the oval window membrane to the elliptical foramen and otolithic apparatus. They are responsible for providing sensation to the head
